Before Albert Einstein became known for his scientific theories and crazy white hair, the physicist was a sappy lover boy, chasing after his college classmate, Mileva Marić. In this dark academia love story, the two brains fell in love over their shared passion for knowledge, coffee, and sausages. Mel reads their intimate love letters which uncover cutesy pen names, family conflicts, and the mystery of their secret daughter. Meanwhile, we discuss the possibility that Marić was an uncredited author of Einstein's most notable works and the disappointing fate of their relationship upon his rise to fame.
